Along with Gosling and Ford’s awesome performances, I absolutely fell in love with Ana De Armas’ character. While last year I didn’t think he deserved an Oscar nomination, I would be shocked if he doesn’t get one for this film.

Even after being in my favorite movie from last year, La La Land, this is definitely Ryan Gosling’s best performance of his career. Ford is fantastic in the movie and the amount of screen time he has is perfect, but don’t be followed into thinking that he’s as much the main character as Gosling is. This isn’t like Star Wars: The Force Awakens where you get Harrison Ford joining the team of new characters throughout their adventure. The entire story is in his perspective and he is absolutely the central main character. This is a mature sci-fi movie where the story and writing make the nearly three-hour film fly by. You’re not going to get a buddy cop movie with Goslings and Ford side-by-side, the conflict is not as big as the villains trying to destroy the world, and this isn’t a cliffhanger ending that’s leading to another sequel. There are some amazing action sequences, but this is closer to a detective mystery than an action movie. No matter what your history on Blade Runner is, I strongly encourage you to walk into Blade Runner 2049 knowing that this is not an action-packed sci-fi flick.

If you decide to skip on the original and the shorts though, Blade Runner 2049 is still an amazing sci-fi mystery that everyone can enjoy. The sequel has a couple callbacks to the original that work best when you know what happened to Deckard in the past. Speaking of the original, watch Blade Runner: The Final Cut. It takes less than a half hour to watch all three and they give some needed background on events that took place in between the original film and its sequel. The titles for them are “Black Out 2022”, “2036: Nexus Dawn”, and “2048: Nowhere to Run”. First, go watch the three short films on YouTube that sets up the events of this film. Blade Runner 2049 is one of the best films of the years, no matter if you’ve seen the original or walking in as a new viewer.īefore I even get into my thoughts, there are a couple things that I would strongly recommend to you to get the most out of Blade Runner 2049. Anything that is discussed in this review will only enhance your viewing experience.

Therefore, this review will contain no spoilers that I deem too revealing to ruin your enjoyment of the film. This is one of those rare films that values the surprise of storytelling and not revealing every plot point in the trailers. Ryan Gosling stars as a young blade runner who discovers a revealing secret to the location to former blade runner Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford. Blade Runner 2049 is the latest sci-fi sequel to the original classic, Blade Runner.
